The drainage took a lot of time to finish. They had a pretty good size crew of 5 to 6 guys and it was about 5 days.

If you lived closer, I definitely would have asked you to quote it!

They are not paving in front of the Camaro garage but they are going to prep it for pavers.

I've been looking for pavers that look like cobblestone. That will be a project for next year. The mason that put in the steps and walkway recommended Techno-Bloc but I haven't researched it yet.

Something that looks like this would be nice:

Sorry for the confusing post. The pic of the cobblestone pavers is from Monarch Stone International. I pretty sure it would be a lot more expensive than Techno-Bloc but I need to start getting quotes.

That's the look I want though.

Material cost for the 1,900 square foot area that would get pavers:

below is $14.25/sq ft so approx $27,000.


Unilock makes a cobblestone paver called the Courtstone. It looks good and it's $8.49/sq ft so approx $16,000.

This one is also Unilock Courtstone and is just a different color.


They all seems expensive but the $27,000 one is way too much.

I think you're right. At some point, that's probably what I'll get.
